The jeweler of kings, the king of jewelers. Since 1847, Cartier has defined luxury with iconic designs like the Santos, Tank, and Ballon Bleu.
Paris Origins
Louis-Francois Cartier founded the house in Paris in 1847. His grandson Louis revolutionized watchmaking by creating the Santos in 1904—the first modern wristwatch for men.
Iconic Designs
The Tank (1917), inspired by WWI tanks, became a symbol of Art Deco elegance. The Santos, Ballon Bleu, and Panthere have each achieved icon status.

Today, as part of Richemont, Cartier continues to create timepieces that are as much jewelry as they are watches.
